Introduction
Safety and Quality in Medication Management will allow you to identify the clinical perspectives of therapeutic medication management. You will examine the Quality Use of Medications and the Registered Nurse Practice Standards (2016) to consider legal, professional standards, regulatory guidelines, and ethical practice. You will apply the clinical reasoning cycle and national evidence-based resources to safely administer medications and work effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary health care team. Principles and socio-political and health economic implications of medication use for patients, across the lifespan, and from a range of cultural perspectives will be considered.
